Sure, TikTok can sometimes be a serious time-suck: You sit down to watch a few videos, and before you know it, you've been scrolling for two hours. But it can also be a helpful tool for discovering fun hacks and products that you never knew you needed.
Take cleaning TikTok, for example. One of the many subsections of the app, "#CleanTok," as it's otherwise known, is a mecca for finding cleaning solutions, including some that will make you realize you've been doing your chores completely wrong. If you scroll through the #CleanTok hashtag, which has nearly 68 billion collective views, you can see everything from satisfying cleaning videos to tips from professional housekeepers.
But one of our favorite parts of #CleanTok is finding unique and useful products that will make cleaning your home so much easier.
Below, we rounded up 21 amazing cleaning products we found on the app. You'll want to grab these items for all of your cleaning needs.
Seropy Roll Up Dish Drying Rack
If you've been on #CleanTok recently, you've most likely seen a version of this roll-up dish rack laid out on every sink on your "For You" page. And it's for good reason — the tool can help you drain and dry kitchenware at the same time, without covering up your entire sink area. Plus, it's only $9.

Arguably the most famous product on #CleanTok, this cult-favorite cleaning paste can help you tackle even the toughest stains on counters, stoves, ovens and more.

Scrub Daddy Dual-Sided Sponge & Scrubber
These happy-looking sponges are featured in tons of videos on the app, and it's not just because they're super cute. They're also a super helpful cleaning tool.
